30 Free Printable String Art Patterns (Direct Download)

A while ago, I was searching for some basic string art patterns in order to show my daughter how funny the DIY string art could be and, unfortunately, I found out that there were almost no simple templates that you can directly download and apply.

So I decided to prepare a list of 30 super easy, yet very beautiful templates that can be downloaded directly with a simple click.

If you master it, you can then buy a more complicated, customized pattern and improve your skills.

For a simple DIY string art project you will need these materials:

A piece of wood pursuant to the size of your project

PC

Printer

Scissors

Tape

Linoleum nails (the amount depends on the size of your project; usually takes a small pack)

Hammer

Yarn or Embroidery Floss

If you do not have a printer at home, you can simply place a sheet of paper on the computer screen and copy the contour.

All templates are matched to a standard page that can be printed by a normal printer.

I’ve made all patterns and templates ready to print. You just need to scale up or down when you are in the print menu so that the template fits your media. Below each image is a download link with the high resolution version of the template. Although they are in .jpg variant instead of .pdf, they can be printed on all devices.

For some of the free printable string art patterns, you do not have to necessarily hammer a nail at each point, but still, they have to be enough to keep shape and contour.

Although it is not difficult, there are a few things to look out for:

Safety comes first! Make sure you won’t hurt some of your fingers with the hammer.

Use a perfectly smooth piece of wood for a better result.

Stick the sheet of paper with some tape to the wood so it does not move anywhere.

By the way, you can use a foam board and needles instead of a wooden board and nails. This option is easier to make, but it is much more unstable and fragile. Besides, it is usually used for string art for kids because it is safer.

If you do not want to buy the different materials, you can buy a kit that has everything ready for you.

4. Heart Pattern

Just have a look at this twisted free heart pattern and you might find an idea for the next birthday gift or Valentine card you are planning to make. As I mentioned above, you don’t need to hammer nails on each dot, just enough to keep the shape.

22. Apple String Art Pattern

The apple template might be a bit easier than the strawberry as it is not so detailed. ( As a matter of fact it’s the easier string art pattern in this collection ). So you can start with it and then continue the fruity themed free string art patterns.
